Land impacted by inundation due to sea level rise is projected to rise in Canada under various Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP).
Under the SSP1-2.6 the mean projected area affected by sea level rise in Canada is just over 675 square kilometers in the next decade relative to the historic baseline. This number grows to approximately 1400 square kilometers at midcentury and reaches almost, 3135 square kilometers of land affected by the end of the century under the same SSP.

Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP): SSP1-1.9: very low GHG emissions - COâ‚‚ emissions cut to net zero around 2050. SSP1-2.6: low GHG emissions - COâ‚‚ emissions cut to net zero around 2075. SSP2-4.5: intermediate GHG emissions - COâ‚‚ emissions around current levels until 2050, then falling but not reaching net zero by 2100: SSP3-7.0: high GHG emissions - COâ‚‚ emissions double by 2100. SSP5-8.5: very high GHG emissions - COâ‚‚ emissions triple by 2075.
